Nymi, Inc. announced the launch of its next-generation wearable
authenticator, the Nymi Band 4, which introduces design upgrades and
expanded passwordless use cases for regulated industries, while
retaining its core authentication functionality that has made it a leading solution in the life sciences manufacturing sector.
This latest development from Nymi offers industries with complex
operations a handsfree solution for passwordless, Multi-Factor
Authentication (MFA) that delivers strong security, compliance, and
convenience for deskless workers, including manufacturing line
operators, laboratory scientists, field technicians, and other critical
workers in process-intensive environments.
The Nymi Band 4
is available for use as a standalone FIDO2 authenticator, or as part of
the Nymi Connected Worker Platform to enable customized use cases and
seamless integration with other systems.
"What we have continually heard from our life sciences customers is that
most authentication solutions don't work for all their workers and
environments, particularly those outside of a traditional office
setting," said David Fortune, President of Nymi. "Nymi has been
designing and delivering a handsfree passwordless solution for the 80% of the global workforce who are deskless workers, often sharing terminals and devices, and who work on their feet or use their hands to perform their jobs."
With the latest iteration of the Nymi Band 4, Nymi has produced their
most advanced workplace wearable yet, incorporating feedback and
insights from their expanding customer base, which includes 14 of the
top 15 global pharmaceutical manufacturers.
"We anticipate additional industries will adopt the Nymi Band because it
makes life easier for their workers," Fortune continued. "By offering a
best-in-class solution tailored to an often-overlooked workforce, the
Nymi Band also helps organizations meet stringent compliance standards,
strengthen security, ensure data integrity, and embrace Industry 4.0
with on-the-person authentication-also known as the connected worker."
Beyond life sciences, demand for the Nymi Band has been growing in other
critical industries, as major companies look to save time, bolster
security, and alleviate password-related frustrations for their
workforce.
The launch of the Nymi Band 4 solidifies Nymi's commitment to empowering
deskless workers in OT environments with innovative, secure, and
user-friendly authentication solutions. By addressing the unique
challenges faced by life sciences manufacturing and other industries,
the Nymi Band 4 opens new opportunities for digital transformation and
operational efficiency.
